MTM: Project Based Teaching

The Multimedia students work on modules or projects. They have about three weeks to complete one project which gives them one credit.  By the end of the course they students will complete five modules and receive five credits if they passed each module.

Formative assessment practises are integrated into project-based assignments.  Students are required to meet with me to receive feedback early in the process.  These meetings provide a framework to utilize assessment of their work and ideas for further learning.  I view the discussions themselves as learning opportunities as the students' voice their thought processes and showcase their skill sets, which provides opportunity for reflection and sparks new innovation and creativity.

My students enjoy working on their projects as they know the expectations for each step of their three to four week project. Here is a photo of me meeting with one of my high school students to review a rubric for his graphic design work.
